Attendance Policy Ð Attendance at school is required by law until the age of 18 years.  Truancy is defined as any three consecutive absences, any five unexcused absences in a semester or seven unexcused absences in a school year, whichever comes first.  School year means the period from July 1 to June 30.  Students who are absent without excuse for a significant part of any school day shall be considered truant.  The principal is required by state law to report all cases of truancy to the truancy officer.

 

                           The tardiness to school policy is in compliance with Kansas State Statutes for a referral  to a truancy officer.  Tardiness to school and/or class can become disruptive and detract from the learning process.
